Chapter 313

*Nonsense, they are all old acquaintances, and they have had no shortage of contact on weekdays, so what else is there to look at. *

……

Not far from where the Flame Spirit Sect people were, Yu Xunqin's eyes also swept over Lu Li and Yan Yuexin.

After seeing Yan Yuexin's appearance clearly, especially hearing the discussion of the crowd around her, a trace of jealousy flashed on Yu Xunqin's face.

Although she was not a Saintess candidate of the six major Holy Sees, she was in the absolute first tier in terms of appearance, and even the Saintess candidates of the six major Holy Sees were much worse than her in looks.

This natural advantage allowed Yu Xunqin to surpass other Saintess candidates and become the center of the topic, and she also enjoyed this kind of atmosphere.

But with Yan Yuexin's appearance, everyone seemed to have found a new topic, and the heat was directly placed on Yan Yuexin, and they even compared her with Yan Yuexin.

Although for Magic Card Masters, strength is the hard truth, as women, appearance, age, and figure were also the focus of their attention, as well as capital.

Even to a certain extent, Yu Xunqin cared more about the degree of attention to these aspects.

After all, she suppressed other Saintess candidates by relying on appearance rather than strength. If even her appearance was snatched away now, then in a sense, she would really become a vase.

This was obviously something Yu Xunqin didn't want to see, and she didn't want to leave the center of the topic and heat.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me; after all, even if you are Saintess Yan Qinyun's daughter, you ultimately belong to the Ancient Kingdom side, and we are now in a competitive relationship." Thinking of this, Yu Xunqin's gaze swept over the people beside her, and a bold plan formed in her heart.

Along with it, even Lu Li was within her targeting range; after all, Lu Li was Yan Yuexin's guardian knight, and to attack Yan Yuexin, Lu Li had to be eliminated as well.

Sometimes, just a simple thought, even if there was no intersection between the two, would be remembered.

Lu Li and Yan Yuexin were just like this; without knowing it, they were targeted by Yu Xunqin.

589. Unexpected person.

Time passed, and all the Saint and Saintess candidates participating in the inheritance trial, as well as their guardian knights, gathered in this secluded valley under the leadership of their respective religion's Popes, waiting for the opening of the Bone Burial Ground.

Except for the sensation caused by the arrival of the Flame Spirit Sect people and Yan Yuexin, the Saintess candidate from the Ancient Kingdom, the subsequent arrivals did not cause much of a sensation.

And the religions that arrived were also self-contained, with very little communication between the two sides; after all, after entering the Bone Burial Ground, everyone was an opponent and in a competitive relationship.

However, the personal terminals of some Saint and Saintess candidates suddenly vibrated; it was clear that someone had sent them information.

Regarding this, these Saint and Saintess candidates who received the information were a bit surprised, not expecting to receive information at this time, and checked it silently.

However, after checking the information on their personal terminals, the faces of these Saint and Saintess candidates all flashed with a trace of astonishment.

They also didn't expect to receive such information.

But soon, the astonishment in the eyes of these Saint and Saintess candidates gradually faded, but their gazes flickered with uncertain light; this sudden information clearly disrupted their plans.

In the end, many Saint and Saintess candidates swept Lu Li and Yan Yuexin with meaningful glances. At the same time, their hands didn't stop, and they quickly replied to the information on their personal terminals.

……

"It seems I'm not late!" Suddenly, a slightly old voice chuckled; everyone who heard this voice, without exception, only felt their hearts become very calm, as if all hidden conflicts were eliminated at this moment, which was very magical.

Subsequently, the figure of an old man suddenly appeared in the valley.

Everyone in the valley, including the six Undying Realm Popes, as well as the Undying Realm Domain Lord in front of them, did not notice the appearance of this figure.

The appearance of this old man was all so natural, without any abruptness, as if he had always been among the crowd, just silent.

Until the other party spoke, everyone reacted, but still didn't feel anything strange about the old man's appearance, which was full of weirdness.

However, after seeing the old man's face clearly, all the Magic Card Masters belonging to the Holy See side, especially those Saint and Saintess candidates, looked at the old man with fanaticism and worship!

At this moment, the fanatic atmosphere of the religion was perfectly displayed, just because of the appearance of this old man.

As for the Popes of the major religions, seeing the old man, a trace of astonishment flashed on their faces; they didn't expect the other party to appear at this time, which was a bit beyond expectations.

Some even had thoughts turning rapidly, already guessing that this inheritance trial might hide some secrets they didn't know.

……

"Supreme!"

Where the Flame Spirit Sect people were, Lu Li looked at the old man who had appeared so abruptly but had merged into the crowd silently, his eyes full of gravity.

The feeling this old man gave him was just like facing Tai Yin You Ying and Tai Yang Zhu Zhao back then; even though it was his first time seeing this old man, Lu Li had already determined the other party's identity.

That was the Supreme of the Holy See, the strongest of the Holy See, the Pope of the Holy See!

Only this old man could make Saint and Saintess candidates belonging to different religions and following different doctrines show such a fanatical side; only he could merge into the crowd without being noticed by the Undying Realm.

You have to know, the number of Undying Realm experts present was as many as seven, but not a single one discovered the old man's figure.

Only a Supreme stronger than the Undying Realm could do this step.

……

"That is His Holiness the Pope!" In the Ancient Kingdom's team, Yan Qinyun was also stunned when she saw the old man, and then a trace of fanaticism flashed on her face; her words also confirmed Lu Li's guess.

Although she had left the Holy See and married into the Ancient Kingdom for a long time, Yan Qinyun was, after all, a Magic Card master born in the Holy See, and she was very familiar with this Pope whom she had heard about since she was a child.

Not to mention, after passing the inheritance trial of the Bone Burial Ground and becoming a true Saintess, Yan Qinyun had once met this strongest person of the Holy See.

This was also the convention; every time the inheritance trial ended, the Saint and Saintess who successfully obtained the inheritance would be summoned by the Pope.

For the Holy See, the Supreme Realm Pope was undoubtedly the leader of all of them.

"I really didn't expect that His Majesty the Pope would appear this time," in front of Yan Qinyun, the astonishment in Yan Zhen's eyes disappeared, and countless streams of light kept flashing in his eyes.

In the inheritance trials of the Bone Burial Ground in previous years, the Pope had also appeared, but the number of times he appeared was very few; generally, he would wait for the final result to come out, and they would report the result to him.

This time, even the Popes of the six major religions didn't hear the news of the Pope's appearance; they originally thought that the other party would be like before, waiting directly for the final report, but they didn't expect him to appear at the last moment.

However, this might also be a good thing.

The Pope's personal arrival could further stimulate these Saint and Saintess candidates, as well as their guardian knights, to stimulate their desire and potential to perform, thereby achieving super-level performance.

Perhaps, the number of Saint and Saintess candidates who obtain the inheritance this term could increase. Historically, as long as the Pope appeared in the inheritance trial, the number of people who finally obtained the inheritance would be much higher.

After all, the opportunity to perform in front of His Holiness the Pope was not much. If one could be fortunate enough to be noticed by His Holiness the Pope, then these Saint and Saintess candidates might just take off.

Naturally, these Saint and Saintess candidates, and even their guardian knights, would try every means to show themselves, thereby indirectly increasing the probability of obtaining the inheritance.

To get the Pope's attention, the most basic point was to obtain the inheritance in the Bone Burial Ground and show one's potential.

If one couldn't even do this, then one should put away that thought as soon as possible.

"His Holiness the Pope?" Yan Qian also didn't expect to see this Supreme Realm powerhouse of the Holy See at this time.

Although they belonged to different forces, Yan Qian still maintained enough respect for the Supreme Realm powerhouse.

However, what Yan Qian cared about more was the reason for the Pope's appearance, which made him think of the conversation with the Night Queen that day, and a guess flashed in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====

590. The Supreme on the verge of death

"As fellow Supreme Realm experts, why do I feel that this Pope has a feeling of being on the verge of death?" The guess being confirmed, Lu Li was not too surprised, but what made him feel strange was the feeling this Pope gave him.

It was not that Lu Li's strength was great enough to directly view the state of a Supreme Realm expert; after all, his rank on the surface was only a Limit King, and even if his spiritual power reached the Sovereign Realm, there was still an insurmountable chasm compared to the Supreme Realm.

But before this, Lu Li had already met two Supreme Realm experts; whether it was Tai Yin You Ying or Tai Yang Zhu Zhao, both of these Ancient Kingdom Supremes were full of vitality.

Even You Ying, who mastered the power of Tai Yin, gave people a feeling of abundant life.

Unlike Tai Yin You Ying and Tai Yang Zhu Zhao, the Pope of the Holy See before him gave Lu Li a feeling that he was almost on the verge of death.

Although the identities of Tai Yin You Ying and Tai Yang Zhu Zhao were very special—being existences that transcended Magic Card spirits and could not be considered true humans—there was no doubt that they were indeed, like the Pope before him, proper Supreme experts.

Even if one was a Supreme Realm Magic Card master and the other a Supreme expert, strength aside, as fellow Supreme Realm experts, it was impossible for there to be such a large gap in their auras.

"Could it be that this Pope of the Holy See is injured?" Thinking back and forth, Lu Li could only think of this one possibility; otherwise, the Pope would not give him such a feeling.

But if this thought were true, then it would be a really big deal. Lu Li felt his scalp tingle just thinking about a situation where even a Supreme could be injured.

"Forget it, it's useless for me to think about this now; could I possibly experience it myself?" In the end, Lu Li shook off the thoughts in his mind. Even if the Pope was truly injured, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to experience the same treatment.

After this inheritance trial ended, he would return to the Ancient Kingdom, and he didn't know if he would have another chance to come to the Holy See; the intersection of his relationship with this Pope was almost zero.

……

"Interesting young man, no wonder that Supreme of the Ancient Kingdom would specifically seek me out for you."

Seeming to notice Lu Li's gaze, the Pope swept his eyes over everyone present, finally lingering on the Ancient Kingdom's team for a few seconds, a stream of light imperceptibly flashing in his eyes.

"It's a pity, if you were a Magic Card master belonging to our Holy See, then perhaps I would have one more choice."

"The final time is getting closer and closer." Thinking of his own physical condition, the Pope's eyes returned to calm.

Lu Li's feeling was not wrong; as the strongest person in the Holy See, the Supreme Realm Pope was indeed carrying injuries.

However, this injury was not from now, but from a time long before he became a Supreme, sustained during an exploration of an exotic dimension.

Moreover, because it damaged his origin, even after ascending to Supreme, this injury had not recovered and had continued to the present, even affecting his lifespan.

This was why Lu Li had a feeling of the Pope being on the verge of death.

And it was why the Pope had the thought that it would be good if Lu Li belonged to the Holy See's Magic Card masters.

After all, for the Holy See, original Magic Card creators were also a scarce resource; no one could ignore the appearance of an original Magic Card creator.

Especially since the Pope himself was also an original Magic Card creator, he knew very well that the ultimate achievements of an original Magic Card creator would have a higher probability of stepping into the Supreme Realm than a conventional Magic Card master.

Therefore, if Lu Li were a Magic Card master belonging to the Holy See, he would be the next Pope most likely to inherit his mantle.

It is a pity that this is only an "if."
